A partnership to INSPiRE

The Interdisciplinary Network for Scholarship in
Professions' Research in Education (INSPiRE) was launched in
October 2008. INSPiRE is an interdisciplinary initiative sponsored by the
University of Western Ontario through the Provost's office, it represents a
collaboration between the Faculty of Education, the Faculty of Health Sciences,
and the Schulich School of Medicine & Dentistry.

The aim of INSPiRE is to foster an intellectual community and
interdisciplinary network for the scholarship of professional education and
practice by:

• Creating opportunities to interact across disciplines;

• Identifying scholars and graduate students in the field through the
development of a virtual network and community of practice;

• Building capacity for researchers and graduate students to advance
knowledge and contribute to the scholarship of professional education and
practice;

• Fostering local, national and international collaborations and knowledge
exchange in this area.

Community of Practice

time, all interested individuals are welcome to join INSPiRE seminars, lectures
